Jerrold Mangliwan of the Philippines is jubilant after stealing the win from his downtrodden Japanese rival Hiroka Ueyonabaru in the men's 400-meter T52 Class. Hangzhou—Paralympian Jerrold Pete Mangliwan on Friday ruled the men’s 400 meter – T52 wheelchair race after a down-the-wire battle to the finish worthy of multiple slow-mo replays, handing Team Philippines its fifth gold medal in the 4th Asian Para Games here.
Mangliwan topped the race with a personal best time of 1 minute and 01.54 seconds for the medal that slew the ghost of his disappointment in the 2021 Tokyo Paralympics, where he was disqualified for lane infringement. “Basta ibibigay ko ‘yung best ko kasi chance ko na ‘to. Sabi ko nga ang chance, hindi ‘yan binibigay ng basta-basta. Kumbaga, chance of a lifetime ito. ,” said Mangliwan.
